So far my company (MNC) don't bother about it during hiring. If you get the IR status, how do you highlight it in your resume. So far when I talked to any manager personal, IR = construction. Looks like there is a lot of misunderstanding there.

By the way, I'm also very interested to get one IR status...just for self improvement and discovery.

Like I said, it's depend on position, it's not about MNC or non MNC, you can highlighted your Ir status in your name, and state your membership status with license number in your resume. Being Ir will have a great advantageous!

MNC bother about BEM (Malaysia)?

by the way, How much it cost for electrical IR engineer?

so thats mean, i need to quit this industry and change to another industry that more to mechanical work?

Ir. comes easy in Malaysia nowadays. It means very little. It is what you know that matters.

Total around 5k..(Fee+Courses)...

To sit for professional interview, You must have related experience, Holding Engineer status doesn't make you a real engineer(project engineer,costing engineer,etc), candidates must have design experience.

May I know if i am registered under Mechatronics discipline, can I practice under an Electrical IR? need advice from all daigor here.

1. Have you register with BEM?
2. Problem will arise if you register with different discipline. ( BEM very strict), must be from same discipline..anyway you can take the professional interview, even you are pass, you can't register with BEM as professional engineer.
3. If you plan to take IR under electrical, you have to take additional papers related to electrical, so far you can do it in UNITEN.
4.It's not necessary to have approval for mechatronics design or anything related to mechatronics, the main job of professional engineer is to ensure the safety.

Ok, thank you very much. So does that mean it is not necessary for mechatronics graduates to get IR? How about IEM? Whats the different between IR and PE?

Got link to refer?
Thank you.

Hi any mechanical engineer here that I can consult?

they are still doing business in malaysia, rite?

My current and previous employments don't seem to bother.

It's same.

IEM only responsible for Exam/Course/training.

I already had 7 years working experience in o&g.

The PE interview is about the interviewee, not about the interviewer. Their interests are to gauge your experience based on your technical reports. I doubt whether they will engage you in a debate on the differences between o&g industry and their industry.

I gather that non o&g interviewers nowadays might have interviewed many prospective PEs from the o&g industry by now, so they might know something about o&g works, unlike during my time. My interviewers were surprised to know that API codes were widely used in o&g industry; obviously they thought that Msians were only knowledgeable in BS codes. This was in the mid 90's.

Good luck in your PE interview next year!

Owh..Hope after this there is more interviewer in O&G industry..In O&G Except for consultants, I realise that IR is not really matter, as long as u can prove that u have the exp required..But, I do hear some rumours saying client O&G want to implement the IR status..But I doubt it will, as in O&G there's a lot of foreigners and they dont even have the IR status..

Well some companies in O&G do implement IR, but as far of my exp, which is not much..All my lead engneer didnt have IR??
